With how quickly new I-485s are being approved recently I’d get married ASAP so you can file a I-485 while his I-485 is pending and avoid filing an I-824 which takes forever

Form I-824 is also used for follow-to-join petitions
If he gets his GC before the marriage u get stuck in Family based GC, it might take a while to get ur GC processed.
I’d get married on paper for the official purpose n fill together.
I thought we’d need to file an I 130 and I 485 form?

So in the event his I-485 is approved before you’re able to file your own you’ll have two options: 1) file an I-824 follow to join petition and process your GC at a consulate, this can take awhile but your visa number will be current; 2) file an I-130 and I-485, but the issue would be that you visa number would be in the F2A category. Historically, the F2A category has been retrogressed which means that you can’t file your I-485 at the same time as your I-130. Either is a really shitty option so I’d get s Court-house marriage so you can avoid both options.
F2A is current across all categories in Dec 2022 visa bulletin.
